You also have to take into account that ]: <br />chose a staring and ending point that were pretty direct. Had T been off the beaten path or in <br />an area that required crossing additional heavy traffic the difference would have been much <br />greater. Tt was also measured during non-peak traffic hours with clear and warm weather. Rain, <br />snow and hours of darkness would also have impact on these travel times. <br /> <br />The shortest distance between two points is the straightest line we can draw or drive on. <br />Without close and accessible north/south roadways, closing Auburn would not be supported by <br />eithe~ the police or fire departments. <br /> <br />Submitted by: <br /> <br />.leffrey Beahen <br />Assistant Chief of Police <br /> <br />Bruce West <br />Elk River Fire Chief <br /> <br /> <br />
